Agents:

------------------------------------------------
agent → perceive the environment through sensors
sensors(cameras,infrared range finders) → acting upon the environment through actuators(motors).
Agent interact with environments through sensors and actuators

key words:
percept:
perceptual input
Percept sequence:
all the perceptual inputs that agent has ever perceived

agent function:
:mapping percept inputs(percept sequences) into actions
:abstract mathematical description

agent program:
: agent function is implemented by agent program.
: concrete implementation, running on agent architecture

agent function for vac um-cleaner:

percept sequence action
[A, clean] right
[A, dirt ] suck
[B, clean] left
[B, dirt ] suck

Agent program for vacuum-cleaner:

function reflex-vacume-agent(location,status) return an action

if status == Dirty then return suck

else if location = A then return Right
else if location = B then return Left

Acting of Intelligent agents (Rationality)

rational agent:
→ doing the right thing( action: which cause the agent to be most successful)
→ rationality depend on:
→ performance measure
→ agent prior knowledge of environment
→ actions that the agent can perform
→
